Removing & Managing Termites

This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

White ant treatment in Marsfield homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may have some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
